Test Subjects

Joel loves photography & he's really gifted at it. He often uses us as his test subjects for various techniques he wants to try out. These photos are examples of this. He put up a white sheet outside our kitchen windows & fired a flash through them to replicate daylight. The lights in the house were out & it was dusk outside. Pretty cool technique! He wanted us to be doing something everyday & natural so we were pretending to be mixing cookies. Em, always willing to play along for make-believe, totally got into it. Jon needed some water in the bowl to stir to become believable on film ;-)
I like them all, but I am especially fond of the one he snapped of me and Katherine.
